Title: Improvements in or relating to electric discharge tubes
Filed: 1927-11-21
Abstract: 307,982. Dicker, S. G. S., (Naamlooze Vennootschap Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken). Nov. 21, 1927. Low - pressure metallicvapour apparatus.-A glowdischarge lamp for the emission of ultra-violet rays has a filling of a rare gas and a small quantity of mercury such that the temperature of the tube and the vapour pressure of the mercury are low during the operation of the tube, the wall of which is wholly or partly of material that transmits ultra-violet radiation. The gas filling may consist of argon alone or mixed with other gases, e.g. hydrogen or neon. In the construction shown, an incandescent cathode 2 is provided which may consist of a tungsten wire on which a nickel wire is wound and then coated with barium oxide, the whole then being wound into a helix. The anode 3 is of carbon. If the ends 6, 7 of the tube are of glass, they are united to the central quartz part 1 by graded sealing-rings 12. To start the lamp, the cathode is fed from a tapping of the anode resistance 8, this heating-circuit then being broken bv a switch 9, 10 to leave the cathode to be heated by the discharge.

Title: Improvements in or relating to glass blowing machines
IPC: C03B9/32
Filed: 1929-10-15
Abstract: 329,941. General Electric Co., Ltd., (Assignee,s of Patent-Treuhand-Ges, fiir Elektrische Gl³hlampen). Oct. 30, 1928, [Convention date]. Blowing ; forming electric lamp bulbs.- Relates' to a glass-blowing machine of the kind in which a large number of individual blowing- heads are provided, particularly for the continuous production of electric lamp bulbs. The invention consists in providing, on or adjacent to each mould, a device for marking each bulb while it is being made in order that the particular mould on which any bulb is made may be identified. The marking device may consist of a number of needles 6 which are pressed against a glass blank and mark the soft glass. The impression made by the needles is usually smoothed out when the blank is rotated in the finishing mould, but is seen as a group of small dots on the completed bulb. In place of the needles, stippling devices may be used which are charged either with an easily fusible enamel or with an etching medium. The needles may be attached to a rod 5 that slides through a sleeve 4 secured to a section 3 of the mould. The rod is engaged by one end of a lever 8 pivoted on the mould, the other end of the lever being engaged by a nose 12 on a rod 11 secured to the other section 2 of the mould. When a bulb is enclosed by the mould and the sections are closed, the needles mark the glass but the resistance of the glass causes the rod to slide outwards through the sleeve 4. As the mould is nearly closed, the nose 12 strikes the lever 8 and completes the retraction of the needles from the mould. When the mould opens again, the nose 12 strikes the other end of the lever and restores the rod 5 to the position shown. In another construction, the marking device is secured to a slider which is carried by guides mounted on the rotating frame of the machine. The slider may be moved, to bring the marker into contact with the bulb, by a cam-operated pinion or by a pneumatically actuated piston.

Title: Improvements in and relating to clamping devices for magnetic cores
IPC: H01F27/26
Filed: 1948-12-03
Abstract: 663,569. Transformers and inductances. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Dec. 3, 1948 [Dec. 4, 1947], No. 31369/48. Class 38 (ii). Relates to a laminated magnetic core having a clamp for holding the laminations tightly together comprising a one-piece metal member which is shrunk around the core. As shown, a fluorescent lamp ballast is constructed from stacked laminations of ferro-magnetic material and comprises outer core legs 3, 4, and a centre core leg 5 which carries coils 6, 7, 8. The laminations and core-sections are held together by cast metal clamps 9, 10. The method of assembly consists in first stacking the laminations of the centre core, mounting the coils, and inserting a wedge 12. The outer core legs are stacked and aligned, the three legs being placed temporarily in adjustable clamps 14, 16. A split mould 18, 19 is filled with molten type metal or other similar non-magnetic material having a relatively low melting-point and which contracts as it cools and hardens. Grooves 11 provide for locking-keys formed as integral parts of the clamps.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of moulded articles from fibre pulp
IPC: D21J7/00
Filed: 1931-11-13
Abstract: 381,378. Moulding pulp. PULP INDUSTRIES, Ltd., 19, New Bridge Street, London. Nov. 13, 1931, No. 31488. Convention date, Nov. 13, 1930. [Class 87 (ii).] To enable machines for making hollow articles from fibrous pulp in pervious moulds by the aid of internal gaseous pressure, to be used for articles of varying size and depth without complications due to unequal drying, the valve for admitting the gaseous fluid is regulatable so that it can be set to open at varying times and at varying speeds according to the size and depth of the article under treatment, and a shield is provided over part of the exterior of the mould to retard the passage of the fluid through the pervious walls. In operation the pulp is admitted initially through the valve c to the mould a while the air valve d is closed, and the latter is opened sooner and quicker when moulding a deep article than when moulding a shallow one, by means of the cam r, s made in two adjustable sections. Other cams with differentlyshaped nose-pieces r<1>, r<2> may be substituted for the section r to vary the speed of opening in addition to regulating the time. The cowl e surrounds the part of the mould which requires less drying in order to retard the passage of the heated air through the pervious walls and such air may be forced to pass over the other parts of the mould through the restricted passages f, h. Perforations i in the cowl may be regulated by dampers to vary the effect of the retardation at will. Specification 318,602, [Class 87 (ii), Moulding plastic &c. substances], is referred to.

Title: A process of bleaching artificial and natural fibres on perforated carriers
IPC: D06L4/23
Filed: 1938-11-04
Abstract: 520,951. Bleaching. TOMASZOWSKA FABRYKA SZTUCZNEGO JEDWABIU SPOLKA AKCYJNA, and BORGNIEC, A, Nov. 4, 1938, No. 31974. Convention date. June 11. [Class 15 (ii)] Artificial or natural fibres are bleached on perforated carriers by sucking or forcing, through the fibres, a hypochlorite solution of such a degree of alkalinity that in practice the said solution has no bleaching properties, and subsequently forcing an agent of acid reaction either in solution or in gaseous form through the fibres. Artificial silk wound on perforated spinning bobbins or a perforated insertion piece or within a perforated drum of a centrifuge, or any other artificial or natural fibre wound on a perforated bobbin is placed in a vat and hypochlorite solution brought to a pH of 11 to 12 by caustic soda is sucked or forced through the fibres ; when saturated, the fibres are freed from excess solution by evacuating the vat and then a diluted solution of sulphuric or nitric acid or acid gases or vapours are forced or sucked through the fibres ; the fibres are finally rinsed and may be dried or subjected to further processes such as dyeing or impregnating with a fat. Glaubers salt &c. may be added to the hypochlorite solution. The above process may be preceded by various processes such as the desulphuration of viscose artificial silk or the denitrification of collodion artificial silk.
